Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site. Operation aborted.

March 20th, 2007

Just got hit with this error:

And regrettably I spent a lot of time searching through Javascript in mootools javascript, and the small 2 lines of javascript Wicket adds to the page. Finally, I decided to actually google the error (which I should have done immediately).

Low and behold, because I was inlining some Javascript for the mootools Tip plugin, Internet Explorer 6 and 7 were upset because I hadn’t given them the chance to render the entire HTML yet. Easy enough to fix, and actually cleans up the code real nice, was to either add it to the body onload, or use javascript. In my case I used mootools goodness:

window.addEvent(’domready’, Site.start);

Gotta love Google. You can also check this site for some tips on avoiding the problem in the future (especially with GMaps).

Thank you, thank you! I search for quite a while trying to find the answer to this. In my case I had blocks sprinkled throughout the page. I all the javascript code into a function and that did the trick!

Mr. Lombardi … can you please update us on how we can fix this vexing problem? we need some examples of implementing the script … thanks

@vanni
vanni, the fix was to modify how we were implementing some of our dynamic code to get loaded only when the dom was ready. That script would be put in between script tags like normal
